Three Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) CF-18 Hornet’s come alongside a RCAF CC-150T Polaris to refuel just off the coast of Hawaii during the Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) Exercise 2014. Twenty-two nations, 49 ships and 6 submarines, more than 200 aircraft and 25,000 personnel are participating in the biennial RIMPAC exercise from June 26 to Aug. 1, in and around the Hawaiian Islands. The world's largest international maritime exercise, RIMPAC provides a unique training opportunity that helps participants foster and sustain the cooperative relationships that are critical to ensuring the safety of sea lanes and security on the world's oceans. RIMPAC 2014 is the 24th exercise in the series that began in 1971. (Canadian Forces Combat Camera Photo by Sgt. Matthew McGregor/Released)
